These chancers were about the only winners from the 'Fight of the Century'.

Floyd Mayweather would have been impressed with the crafty tactics these two Essex men used to get closer to the action in the MGM Arena on Saturday.

Ifran Ahmed and Chris Stowe dressed as members of Mayweather's entourage to sneak their way into ringside seats for the most anticipated fight in years.

The pair donned Mayweather tracksuits and baseball hats to sneak past security and into seats worth up to £650,000. Once there, they rubbed shoulders with A-list celebrities such as Justin Bieber and Mark Wahlberg.

Ahmed revealed how they managed to fool everyone into thinking they were a part of Team Mayweather in an interview with The Sun.

"We had the night of our lives. Everyone was really friendly because they thought we were millionaires," he said.

"We got some 'nosebleed seats' on the cheap then dressed up in all the gear."

"When Floyd's entourage arrived we piggy-backed them to get ringside."
